Budget Control

F.A.Q.

GET STARTED

AdSpike is based on a series of smart algorithms that analyze your campaigns that are running on Google AdWords. It suggests automated actions to optimize the performance of these campaigns. For an example, one of our algorithms computes the best CPC for every keyword and reshuffles it daily to reach an optimum.

AdSpike needs to run on average for 21 days to complete the first optimization strategy and find an optimum. But you might already see some improvements after 6 or 7 days.

After scheduling one or several optimization campaigns, just keep calm and relax. We will launch a series of algorithms one at a time to improve your performance. On average, it takes 6 months to reach an optimum on all your campaigns. After this period AdSpike will continue to improve automatically.

Yes, AdSpike is a complementary tool to manual or automated actions (with third party tools) that every AdWords advertiser takes (create new campaigns, create ads, define keywords, set the initial max CPC, etc.). Then, AdSpike will run on top of your campaigns to optimize the CPC, to add new keywords, to check URLs, automate A/B testing, etc.

For example, in Google AdWords, you:

add a new keyword "Beautiful Table", with a Max CPC of 3.31$

AdSpike may:

Add more keywords to reach the long tail "beautiful table in San Francisco", "beautiful high table", etc. Then it will monitor these keywords and activate/deactivate them according to A/B tests.

Change the max CPC of you keyword to optimize the overall budget of the campaign.

Continuously check that the campaign is clean: the URL is still valid, the conversion rate in leads is good, etc.

While you always have the opportunity to manually manage your AdWords campaigns we recommend you do not apply any changes on campaigns for which an AdSpike optimization is running. To easily identify these campaigns we have added a label “AdSpike Running” in Google AdWords.
